File:Guitarron chileno2.jpgThe guitarrón chileno or Chilean guitarron is a plucked string instrument with 25 strings from Chile. Its origin dates back to the 16th century. It is used to accompany el Canto del Poeta (the Poet Singing), an old chilena folk genre that cultivates décima and improvisation, known as payada. The themes embraced can be distinguished from Canto a lo Divino (solemn, religious, more prepared themes) and Canto a lo Humano (humorous, amorous, social criticism themes). This instrument is also performed in other musical forms like cuecas, tonadas, valses and polkas.[1]
